How Dew is Formed.

Cor. Home and Farm.
In the evening when the sun no
longer imparts heat to the earth, the
heat received by the earth, trees,
grass, etc., during the day, escapes
by radiation and they become cool
err than the air in contact with them.
The air near them can mot re-
main warmer than they, therefore it
imparts some Of its heat to them by
conduction, which theyin turn throw
off by radiation; thus the temperature
Of the air is reduced.
Warm air can hold in suspension
much more vapor than cold air, and
as this escaping off and imparting
to of heat goes on the temperature of
the air is ultimately reduced to a
point so low-called the dew point
that it can no longer hold all of its
moisture in suspension as it could
while it was warm air, and so some
of it is condensed and deposited on
the cool grass, precisely as on a hot
summers day the moisture or invis-
ible vapor in the air is condensed and
deposited on the outside of a glass of
cold water.
There is no dew if the night is
cloudy, as clouds prevent radiation,
and the trees, grass, etc., do not lose
enough heat to reduce the tempera-
ture of the surrounding atmosphere
to the dew-point. The dew begins
to fall on the grass first because grass
radiates more freely and cools faster
than most other substances so the air
In contact with it is cooled to the dew.

Confucius, who was contemporary
with Daniel, the Chinese had been
accustomed to do the same thing
from time immemorial. But this is
not conclusive evidence that the an
cient Cinnamon got the idea from
the ancient Hebrews or the Egyp-
tian. No, 1 should rather believe
that toads are indigenous alike to
America and to Asia, and that the
laws of the human mind are essen
TALLY the same among all races of
men /; the pillow may have been in
vented as well in China or South
America as in Greece or Egypt.
And since the law of mentality is the
same in both continents, I do not
see any marvel in the identities of
the mechanical contrivances among
two or more people who were, at
the time of the invention, uncon-
scious of each others existence.
Take the common hand-loom for
example. Nobody can tell where or
when it originated. We know only
that it was used among the Chibeha
Indians of New Grenada long before
the discovery Of this continent by
Europeans, and simultaneously in
China and Northern Europe. And
yet, whether seen in China, Sweden,
Scotland, South America, or in North
Georgia and Western North Carroll
ma, it is identically the same as res
poets design and mechanical applian-
ces. Here is the same system of
beams and treaddles, the same gear
ing and stretchers, the same swing
ing lever or baton, the same sley and
shuttles. The finest silk velvets Of
Somehow or Of Canton, like the coarse
blankets Of the Incas, or the " linsey-
woolsey" of our colonial ancestors,
were all woven on an instrument Of
identical design and form. The
Chinese scholar will tell you the ma
chine originated with one Foh-he
about six thousand years ago. The
Indian will tell you it was mercifully
revealed to his ancestors long before
he knew anything about him. And
the Britton will tell you it was in
common use among his half savage
ancestors long before the Norman
conquest. The inference is that the
art OF weaving is about as ancient as
that Of blowing, and that neither
can claim exclusive nativity with
any one race or country.

No one has too much poetry, too
much hope or faith or aspiration.
Most people have far too little.
What they have, however, is u.s.
ually the best part of them. Their
ideals are higher than their actuals.
In this lies one secret of moral pro-
gress. Men conceive of a better life
than they are living, Of purer feel
ings. These conceptions beekon them
onward and upward, and lead them
to tread paths of virtue that were
onccimpossible.

The Plow and the Loom.

Atlanta, Co., Cultivstor.
In the September Cultivator I incl
dentally alluded to the fact that the
earliest form Of Greek pillow is in
common use today in the interior
agricultural districts of China. And
now a friend writes me to know
whether this should not be accepted
as an evidence that the Chinese got
their ideas Of agriculture from the
ancient Greeks who, in turn, got it
from the ancient Egyptianss Or, in
other words, whether agriculture,
like the human race, did not originate
in Asia Minor? t.
Possibly it did. But what / meant
to intimate was that the identities in
the external forms of art found
among the peoples of prehistoric ages,
and presumably unconscious of each
others existence, cannot be accepted
as evidence conclusive of that fact.
We find a common toad in the fields
Of Georgia, and We find identically
the same kind of a toad in the fields
of China. Does it follow that because
China is the older country, all Geor-
gia toads came originally from Chi

The Running Brook and the Stag

AN

Yonder shining like a thread of sill
yer through the thick foliage of the
mountain side comes little brooklet,
singing and shining on its joyful way
as if life were a blessing, and not a
burden. 1t passes a stagnant pool
end the pool halls it:
"Whither away, Master Stream
let?"
The brook answers:-"I am bear
ing to the river this cup of cold wa
ter God has given me-"
"Ah," says the pond, "you had
better save it. 1t is going to be hot,
dry season and you will need it be-
fore the summer is over"
ooh WE'LL" the brooklet replies,
II have a plenty now and / will do
good with it while l may"
Soon 1t went singing merrily,
Freely We have received, freely
give"
But the selfish pool-hugging close
ly every drop of its resources-smiled
complacently at its superior wisdom
and repeated the oft quoted maxim,
Charity begins at home"
And how Jared the little streamlet?
Did it suffer from its generosity? o,
no! The trees crowded to its brink
and threw their sheltering branches
over it, for it brought sweet refresh
ments to their roots!
The birds bathed In its pellucid cur
rent and slipped its sweet waters, and
sang its praises in the overhanging
boughs. The beasts of the field came
to II to quench their thirst and stood
knee deep in its cooling food in the
sultry noontide.
The farmer noted with joy the line
Of greener verdure that marked its
courset hroughh his fields and meadows,
and barred his brow to the breeze UNI
der the shadow of the old elm and
listened with peaceful delight to its
musical murmur as it ran through
his door-yard.
And thus it went on its benefcient
course, blessing and blessed of all. 1t
bore its full cup and poured it into the
river, and the river bore it into the
sea, and the SUI smiled upon the sea,
and the sea sent up its incense breath
to greet the sun, and the clouds
caught the vapor in their capacious
bosoms, and the winds, like willing
steeds, harnessed themselves to the
clouds and bore them away, away to
the very mountain that gave the lit
tie streamlet birth, and there they
tipped the trimming cup and poured
the grateful baptism down, and God
saw to it that the streamlet that gave
so freely and generously should never
run dry!
But what became of the selfish
pool? Alas! in its ~inglorious mac
tivity it grew sickly and pestilehtial
The cattle stopped to drink of it, but
their lips no sooner touched it than
they turned away in disgust. The
evening breezes kissed it by mistake
in the twilight and caught malaria in
their wings and carried it through all
the neighborhood.
The farmers family were taker
with chills and fever, and he was
compelled to move away from it

Twenty-Five years ago l lived in

quaintance of German Jew-illiter-
ate, with little knowledge about prac-
tically working a ranch or farm, yet
he was one of the most successful
ranchmen there. He had the sense of
seeing where dollar was to be gained,
and knew how to pick the light man
for the right place and had the faculty
to discover, quick as fash, whenever
a person did not come up to his ex-
pectations. Before he was a ranch
man, he carried on a general merchan-
disc there, which he sold out on ac-
count of health, and bought ranch
with over 10000 sheep and large
number of cattle and horses. Though
he never had had anything to do with
ranch or farm, he saw within few
weeks that the old manager was no
good, so he discharged him and picked
out one who knew his business. Thus
he made a success of his ranch from
the very beginning, not because he

FARMERS OF THE FUTURE.

Farming in the year 1887, and
every year hereafter, will be depend
ing for success more and more upon
the knowledge, training and skill of
the farmers.
The child of the family, who is of
the clearest mind, most ready to study,
most given to observation Of cause
and effect, quickest of apprehension,
best adapted to the use of tools and
machinery, who loves horses and cat
tle-this child should be trained for
the farmer ... ......
The men, such as these children
will make, are to be the successful
farmers of the future.
It is useless to expect the lazy,
shirking, Indifferent boy and man will
do we'll on the farm, or make his mark
in that direction Such may make
passable men in other pursuits, but
the farmers hereafter must be wide
awake, cultivated men, with a knowl-
edge Of the principles which lie at the
foundation of their profession.
It is on this account that the farm
ers of today should take the necessary
means to secure thorough agricul-
tural education for those who are ex-
pected to take their places. They
should take the measures necessary to
make the colleges, established by the
United States, practical agricultural
schools for their children
This depends wholly upon the farm
ers themselves, who by determined
spirit can accomplish wonders in this
direction
The failures in crops often result
from the superficial knowledge of
those who have them in charge. They
expect nature to supply all their own
Deficiencies, and when she does not,
they lay their i'll success upon the
season
The farmer of the future must leave
as little for nature to supply as pos
sible, must be able to forestall all the
Deficiencies of the season. It can be
done; but only when the farmer is
thoroughly educated, trained and
capable man, in his department of life.

for meat which could easily have been
raised at home.
Now, if every farmer in the cotton
States had raised all he needed, and
then enough to sell the people in the
cities, all this money would have been
kept at home, and what cotton we
made would have brought double the
money. Had this been done, my
brothers, do you think that there
would have been cry all over the
land about the merchant charging too
much?
I have said that every man who
farms can raise all his family con-
sumes. For the renter, who moves
from place to place, this may be diff
cult, but for the man who owns his
land there is no earthly excuse for not
having plenty of sweet and Irish po-
tatoes, peas, beans, carrots, parsnips,
satisfy, turnips, and dried fruits and
during summer he can and should
have as many vegetables as his family
can consume, besides enough to feed
one pig for each member in his family,
and then raise plenty of cornsto feed
all his stock.-Corresponent Home and

WISCONSIN FARMERS INSN-

Wisconsin may be called the banner
State, in the successful carrying out of
Farmers Institutes. With the month
of December they are fairly under
way, and from that time on these pop
ular gathering of the farmers are be-
ing carried forward in the various dis
tricts of the State.
These Institutes are under the pat
ronage of the State, and complete
programs of places, dates and speak
ers are issued. They have become
fully popularized in the State, and
other States may we'll profit by the
means there used for this practical
manner of disseminating the theory
and practice of agriculture. The
Western Farmer says 10000 farmers
attended these meetings last winter.
The coming winter it is expected that
$4,000 will avail themselves of these
benefts.-Farn, Field and Stockman.
